Luciano Pavarotti is one of the most well-known opera singers to ever perform on stage. His star power afforded him the ability to become a crossover star in a genre of music usually enjoyed only by hardcore fans.
Pavarotti passed away on 2007 at the age of 71, but his legendary singing voice is still enjoyed daily by lovers of his music.
In 2015, opera lovers were introduced to the 15-year-old singer Sislena Caparossa from Tenerife. The young singer’s voice was immediately likened to that of the well-beloved opera legend. Commentators on YouTube were quick to show their appreciation:
“I don’t care if she is related to Pavarotti or not. She is a phenom. He is my fav and now she is also”
Sislena Caparossa astounded listeners with her singing talent and amazed onlookers with her heartfelt performance of one of Pavarotti’s classic pieces. Although fans have marveled at how such a powerful voice can come from such a sweet and innocent-looking little girl and jokingly referred to her as “Pavarotti’s granddaughter,” the claims are false. Snopes investigated these claims and was told by the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation that this is not true.
Sislena burst onto the music scene in 2013 when she displayed her vocal gifts on a talent show aired in Italy. The audience was amazed by the 15-year-old's rendition of the timeless classic 'Nessun Dorma.' Her performance so wowed the judges that they were unable to hold back the tears of joy they felt.
Sislena continues to amaze with her breathtaking performances. Her 2016 performance for the Spanish version of “The Voice” left the judges and viewers completely stunned. There is no doubt future listeners will be equally impressed with her ability.
